eGMAT Last Mile Program Review - 770

I had initially prepared only from the official guide and a few advanced GMAT Club questions, but my GMAT Prep score hadn't budged a lot from the 740 GMAT Prep score that I had got in my first attempt without any preparation. I then realized that I needed something that would point out specific areas of improvement and help me work on them. I then signed up for the eGMAT last mile program course, and here are the several ways the course helped me:

1. A key struggling point for me was SC. I simply did not know the rules because I hadn't studied any sort of theory in depth. The self learning modules of eGMAT solved this by giving crisp rules of SC, and as a result I started achieving 80-90% accuracy in every test thereon. 10/10 would recommend if you are struggling with SC.

2. The second area that I was struggling with was time in Verbal. This was mainly being driven by an average time of around 140 seconds in CR questions, although with decent accuracy. The eGMAT experts helped a lot here by going a step beyond and taking out time to address my issues specifically. It turned out that there was a flaw in my approach towards CR questions, making my method very inefficient. Next, I could cement the correct approach through the practice questions.

Specifically it was Harsha (Verbal Expert), and Aditee (Mentor) who guided me through CR, enabling me to cut down at least
15-20 seconds on my time.

3. The Sigma-X mocks were of a huge help as I could accurately see where I stood in terms of my performance. The level kind of matched the actual GMAT questions. My last score on the third mock was 760, which was very close to my actual score of 770.

4. The explanations of most practice questions (~80%) was on point, but even if it wasn't, you could get your doubts answered. Although, areas of improvement for eGMAT here could be their TAT (which sometime stretched to over 3-4 days) and the quality of replies of a few of their experts.

5. The most important thing by far was the detailed analytics that eGMAT gives out for your performance on all questions. This was of a huge help since I could see where exactly I was struggling, and what was the low hanging fruit for me to improve. This is something that is extremely important for people who want to push their score that extra bit.

TLDR: I was pretty happy overall with the eGMAT Course. Within a month it helped me identify weaknesses and work on them, and gave me that much needed improvement of 30 points.
